College football season is just around the corner (ok so it’s more like five months away), but Ole Miss Rebel fans will get to think otherwise, if just for a day. The 2007 Grove Bowl is this Saturday in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium here on campus. What exactly is the Grove Bowl, you ask?
The Grove Bowl is the annual spring intrasquad scrimmage football game for the Ole Miss Rebels. The scrimmage gives anxious fans (right here!) their first look at the 2007 team and how they are progressing thus far. Spring practice has been going on for a few weeks now, but all of the practices have been closed to the public. The Grove Bowl is the final spring “practice” for the team.
Tailgating starts at 10 a.m. in the Grove and the players will take the traditional march down the Walk of Champions at 10:50 a.m. Gates open at noon with kickoff set for 1 p.m.
